Lincoln News and Form

Lincoln are pretty heavy underdogs for this one but it is a good night for them to enjoy the occasion, regardless. Lincoln opened the season strongly with three straight wins in the league and EFL cup. They didn’t concede a single goal in any of those opening games either. Their first-round success in the League Cup came out at Championship side Huddersfield.

The Terriers were of course and Premier League side last season. But Lincoln have crashed since to back to back 2-1 defeats in the league. So, their form has just deserted them a little bit. The Imps have won just two of their last nine League Cup ties, although they have both been inside their last three competition games.

Everton News and Form

For all of their hype and expectation coming into the new season, Everton haven’t exactly hit the ground running. They suffered a 2-0 defeat at Aston Villa in the Premier League on the weekend. That is one goal scored in three Premier League outings so far. So things haven’t quite clicked for them yet but they do on paper have a squad which is full of pretty high potential.

Everton have alternated between a win and loss in their last eight League Cup ties. Last season they were dumped out in the third round by Southampton via a penalty shootout. It is interesting to take a look at their away form specifically in the League Cup. Everton have lost five of their last eight EFL cup away ties. Granted the last two have been against Manchester City and Chelsea.

Who will win – Lincoln v Everton Predictions

Everton should really have too much class and power for Lincoln to handle in this fixture. It may however just be worth having a flutter on both teams to score as the Toffees have just one clean sheet in their last nine League Cup games on the road.
